Saga no light.

If want to soundproof front door for sound system, do it properly.

Do not use insulflex, instead u should use damping material.

Depends on quality and brand, i DIY my front door, 3 layer damping+1 layer sound absorbing, around RM620 for material only, if done by shop, add RM180-200 for that.

The result is it can block the noise outside, stop the door, windows rattling and most important, even cheap speaker can sound nice.

If you just want the USB connectivity, change the HU.

If you want the better sound, sound proof and change speaker.

But honest speaking, stock speaker is 5'25' paper cone full range, bass still ok, mid and high range really muffle to my ear, even change HU also won't help.

Demister is one of the fact i think, + the workmen ship and quality is suck...mine 1 year 9 months BLM also grow bubble started from demister line...for me good also la, peel off itself, so next time want to remove less harmful to the demister line..

Bro, still got ECU need to change, not as easy as u think...

What sound u got? Mine is rat sound during cold start...not belt problem, but belt tensioner...mechanic told me tensioner for Campro is fragile...

Bro, WD40 is use to displace water from the rust and anti rust la...
Just that it cannot spray onto rubber part such as belt area because it will deteriorate the rubber and will break.

BLM crucial soundproof part is

1. Wheel arc,
2. Fender,
3. Front Door
4. Floor
5. Firewall.

By doing 1st 4 properly, you can reduce engine and road noise effectively adi.

Bonnet soundproof effect can say equal to NONE. Don't waste ur hard earn money there.

Then u better keep ur warranty. These tensioner cannot long lasting, approx 20k+ will start screeching again...mine from 20k screeching until 42k now, still haven't change yet...i asked mechanics outside, also quote 300+.

Mine after warm up the sound will disappear, means not so serious compare to yours.

Maybe i will wait until change timing belt only change it, becos now 42k, half way+, hope it can tahan until 80k...

Added on June 28, 2011, 2:55 pmBecos ur now still in early failure stage, so shorter time only...

My car 1st time also like this, sometimes completely silent even cold start, then now everyday cold start will screech until the engine is warm/hot...park under sun will shorten the time too...

I remember ur car went into longkang before...maybe some unforeseen side effect is started to show itself now...

Haha, then I remember wrongly...

Someone front wheel masuk longkang with his new car, after that dashboard and engine vibrate during auto gear change and aircon kickin, i thought is you...

Hmm, in fact quite impossible la...Saga got worst FC in city drive, but mainly due to +100kg more heavier car weight and powerful aircon compressor compare to Myvi.

But myvi suspension in terms of comfortable really suck la, my friend today just told me his Myvi go through speed line heart almost fall out of his body, too bumpy la...

Anyway, just want to share my experience on my Saga on this wednesday.

That day is rainy day, with my stock suck 42k+ mileage silverstone M3, when i exit the highway left corner @ 70km+, (normal dry road is like this), there are some uneven at the corner, soft suspension+body roll, my car bump a little bit and then start to oversteer...my car back end start to drift like no tmr...i thought my car front sure will kiss the barrier at the left...but luckily my experience of playing NFS shift 2 with steering wheel , i dun know what should i do actually, maybe just a nature, i manage to correct the steering and control the brake (normal ppl when panic sure will jam brake), really lucky, escape with safe... my 1st experience of nearly loss control of the car...

Moral of the story, play NFS often and with steering wheel.

Look from sideway of your signal lamp stick and wiper stick, inside got screw, one at each side (special screw, pentagon), just open it then u can open the cover adi...i also put sponge inside before.

Engine oil price up adi?

Last saturday i changed my engine oil to Total Full Sync 5W30 from previous Mobil 1 0W40,

The Total oil has increased from 188 to 206 adi... but still alot cheaper than Mobil 1 la...

1st time using SAE 30 oil, instantly feel the power gain, very light engine and good pickup @ low rev...will see how much mileage it can tahan...

Minimise aircon kickin jerk, rev up more faster...

This is combination effect of SAE30 + cleaned K&N filter, i think.

Added on July 4, 2011, 11:16 amDon expect it will give you 10% FC reduction. not try yet, will see from next tank..

Anyway, new car from now (43k) my car FC (manual) city driving is about 13-14km/L, highway 16.5-17.5km/L. So FC is not a big concern to me, becos my right foot always light.

Ya, the IAFM thingy make our car heard very powerful, but in fact, OK la...

Huhu, my last engine oil change is 5 months ago, since is full sync...

This is the answer SC told you, in fact it can stand without any problem, this one outside SC told me one...

Last time i using Proton part with full sync, this time i using Mitsubishi filter.

The reason i'm not using using semi becos the sync content is just not on par with the price.

Semi-sync, even we call it 'quarter-sync' is more than that adi...

Semi sync oil only mix 15-20% max sync oil with mineral oil, but it was 40 more expensive than mineral oil, in terms of protection, 2k more than mineral oil, then i better use mineral then...

If semi sync can last 7-8k, actually full sync you use until 12k also no problem.

Bro, the ECU and engine oil used is not a big factor for FC contribution, it negligible...

control your right foot is the only solution,

But of cos if ur place is jam like no tmr, even Kancil will become BMW, right?
